Thankful for Stacie

I love reading Stacie's blog...her words fill me with such inspiration, hope, tears and joy. I have prayed for them and I am so thankful for her and her family and how they have touched the lives of so so many, including my own. Here is an excerpt of one of her posts that I find myself reading over and over again.

"I am determined to trust God in this period of the unknown because it's not unknown to Him. I believe with all of my heart that nothing touches this family that has not first been sifted through God's hands. And good or bad, He has allowed it to come our way. And with His guidance, He will carry us through. And I will do my best to bring Him glory regardless of how life goes." Stacie

God Bless her and her sweet boys. Her faith is such an inspiration...

Family Pictures

Well, here it is 2 months since my last post...time just seems to fly by! It is so easy to find yourself consumed with the daily to-do list, and writing on this blog is not at the top of the list for me. Although I enjoy it and I certainly enjoy reading what others have written!!

I was about to call it a night after practicing for Praise Team tomorrow morning, when I decided to post some family pictures that we took today at Portrait Innovations. Mom insisted that we go and have a family picture made since it had been 2 years since we had done one. I am so glad that she booked our appointment! We got some great pictures and we can't wait to hang them in the new house.











Speaking of house, we close this Tuesday! We are so very excited!!! We drove by tonight and the previous owners had a UHAUL there getting all of their parents things out. The owners have passed away and the house now is now an estate for their 3 children. Apparently the 2 sisters and brother are not on the best terms and I find that so sad. They came down at different times to move things out. What a hard time for them...saying goodbye to the home that they lived in, going through their parents things, and then not having the support of each other to lean on and do it with. I find that sad for them. I know that would be so hard for me to do and I couldn't do it without Kimberly and Aaron. Surely at this time they could put their differences aside...I will pray for them tonight.

Well, Justin just went to bed and it is late, so I better cut this short. I am excited about the message we will hear tomorrow at Mobberly on relationships!
